Pandemic Restrictions Impact TAB’s Performance
The monopoly for New Zealand’s sports betting market acknowledged that multiple factors impacted its performance in August. Such factors included the mask restrictions introduced due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This, according to TAB, discouraged some visitors from accessing retail venues.
“A combination of ongoing factors have contributed to August’s result, including the continuing soft economic conditions that impact our customers’ discretionary spend, mask restrictions in retail venues through the month deterring a section of customers from visiting, and race meetings being abandoned due to weather,“
explained TAB
Additionally, the monopoly acknowledged that some race meetings did not take place due to weather conditions. Still, the monopoly outlined that despite the spread of Omicron, New Zealand remained at the Orange level, which allowed it to continue operating its retail outlets.
